Following Afar Off

Contributed by James Sulton on Mar 12, 2007

Following Jesus

Many of us are following as Peter was afar off. Jesus commanded us to take up our cross daily and follow Him. The cross identifies us as His followers so it behooves us to follow close to our Lord, our Master, our General, our Savior. Why follow Jesus? I. Not because we have to. No compulsion. ...read more

There’s only problem with that philosophy: its dead wrong; its 180 degrees out of ...read more

The Prayer Of Sorrow Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 5, 2006

Why would Jesus pray to have the "cup" taken away, if He knew that wasn’t going to happen? Was His prayer simply an excercise in futility, or was there something more to it? I learned some surprising truths as I prepared this sermon.

As the preacher came within earshot of the boy, he was surprised to hear the boy saying: "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." After the boy finished his praying the preacher approached him ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mowery on Jul 6, 2007

The Biblical record about the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

The Reality of the Resurrection We need to come to a conclusion today that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is more than a fairy tale, more than a legend, and more than some religious symbol.

Malchus' Ear

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Mar 28, 2006

We see the miracles. We may have even experienced a miracle. Yet we still turn a blind eye and tend to reject Him. Malchus felt the touch of Jesus, yet still arrested Him.

How Can I Tell You About Jesus When I Am Afraid?

Contributed by Randy Rodenborg on Mar 28, 2006

Max is a Jr Higher who hates the locker room, and is now likely to be picked on for having a ash cross on his head after the Ash Wednesday service. It ends with a call to pray for others and submitting yourself to God to use you to lead others to Him.

Max hated the locker room. It wasn’t a mild dislike, like the days he would rather not go to science or choir. Max really dreaded walking into the locker room and confronting first the smelliness of the locker room and then those small lockers. These lockers were really just baskets that you could ...read more
